babysugar Diaires: Getting Baby #1 Ready for Baby #2

Jul 11 2008 - 12:01pm

I never thought of myself as "most popular" growing up but I finally found my #1 fan — and she's not letting anyone near her prized possession. Every time I am around another child, my lil one eyes me like a hawk. Though she can barely form a sentence yet, she clearly makes it known that I am NOT allowed to touch or pick up other children. Aware that this is just a phase, I am still a tad worried about how she will receive our newest addition to the family.

Heeding advice from other second–time mothers, and possibly Angelina Jolie [1], I am going to give my tot her very own baby doll [2]. This weekend, she and I will go pick out a baby and a stroller for her to love and adore, just as I have her. Hopefully she will get used to the idea of having another "baby" in the house in the remaining 20 weeks of pregnancy. Stay tuned to the babysugar Diaries [3] for progress reports.
